Fairly new to this forum, been trying to buy a really low mileage '71 for the past couple years unsuccessfully, but now found another low mileage car.....been sitting for a long time, and aside from the usual maladies I noticed the mice have eaten a bit of the wiring harness.....looks to be pretty localized damage.

Its the bundle that comes up from underneath the dash on the driver's side just below the windshield corner through the grommet....splits off, one half of the bundle goes toward passenger side in the trunk, and one half goes down into the spare tire well area.

I figured maybe one of you guys has a parts car with some good wiring, maybe cut a section out so I can splice everything back together. PITA, but I dont know what else to do other than rewiring the car.

I'll try to post a pic when I pick the car up.

Mark, I'll give you a call soon to see what you have.
Here's the section that's damaged. Actually the eaten wiring goes a few inches behind that black vent duct, and also down about another 8 or 10 inches towards the front of the car.

The car is a '72 1.7

Thats a straight forward repair with the harness in the car. Just get some same-gauge wiring and start splicing and soldering in new sections.

yeah I just wanted to get the same color wires to splice in, since I currently only have a couple rolls of black, brown and red wire. Would like it to remain looking original at least instead of a hack job.

Thanks to all for the replies.....incidentally i found a fellow local who was parting out several cars, he had some wiring harnesses laying around that I cut the section out of and spliced into my car.....Took a few afternoons getting it all spliced in, but it looks factory and is a good repair, which is what I was going for. Thanks!
